How can someone not like turtles!? They're so chill, they're just like

"Man I want to swim and eat but Imma take my time cause i'm a turtle and that's life."

Who wouldn't want to have a pet like that?

Here's why turtles make a great pet for all ages.

1. Cheap!!!

Everyone likes cheap things, turtles themselves can start as low as $20 depending on what kind of turtle you want.

2. Small.

Turtles are small and they're tank can fit on that shelf you have sitting around but have nothing to do with it. Turtles also grow to the size of their habitat so you won't have to worry about getting a bigger tank.

3. Cute.

Turtles are known as slow, shy creatures. Most of them don't like to be handled often, however when they are they are harmless. Turtles recognize their owner and they definitely know when it's time for food!

4.Easy to take care of.

You can simply get a filter and replace the filter ever so often without having to worry about manually cleaning out the tank every other week. You don't have to worry about walking them or even bathing them. Just manage their "sun" or heat lamp so they have a day and night schedule and feed them at the right times!

5. Easily transportable.

Turtles are light and can easily be moved from home to home or even to your child's school for show and tell!

6. Happy Creatures.

Even though they may be shy they are happy creatures. They're biggest worry in life, is having to share food with their tank-mate.

7. Harmless.

Like noted above, turtles are harmless. Even if they were try to bite they don't have teeth to pinch you. It's almost a tickle really. Good pet to have with kids.

8. Decorating.

You can pimp out their tanks however you want! If you want a Finding Nemo theme go for it! If you want more of the buddha relaxing theme it's all you!
